>>21609087I have a good friend who I’ve known forever and became trans.
the other day she sent me literally 20 minutes of videos describing how she went into a tcg and assumed everyone in there was checking her out.
she casually asked me how she’d go about fucking my (completely straight cis) friend, as though 1.) that were a normal topic of conversation, and 2.) that my friend would just automatically see her as an attractive cis woman because that’s what she decided she was.
I am all for respecting people, leaving them alone, addressing them how they want to be addressed, etc. But you can’t affect how other people see you, and you can’t just constantly demand that everyone around you reinforces the way you see yourself.
For comparison, my brother is trans and he’s one of my absolute favorite people. He’s incredibly based, well adjusted, and just like a normal dude.
No one cares if you’re trans in actuality. What they care about is the fact that you make being trans something they have to focus on and care about.
